The program requirements are designed for those interested in art as professional practice and as preparation for transfer. The major has three components. The first component is a core of two required foundations fine arts studio courses. The second component is two required art history courses. The third component offers students choices in 10 emphasis areas. Students may select an emphasis in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, ceramics, art digital media, graphic design, art history, or metalsmithing, but are encouraged to choose within a wide range of these beginning courses for transfer. Fine arts faculty and staff are dedicated to assisting students in exploring job opportunities, internships, and transferring to four-year institutions of higher learning. The DVC fine arts major is intended for transfer. Students who intend to transfer must consult with a program advisor or counselor to ensure that the requirements for transfer to fouryear institutions of their choice are met. Students who intend to transfer are advised to select General Education Option 2 (IGETC) or Option 3 (CSU Breadth). Option 1 (DVC General Education) is not generally advised. To earn an associate in arts degree with a major in fine arts, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” or higher, maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher in the coursework required for the major and complete all graduation requirements as listed in the catalog. Degree requirements may be completed by attending classes in the day, evening, or weekends.

The associate in science degree with a major in allied health is a transfer degree for students who wish to transfer to a four year institution with a major in an allied health field. These fields include, but are not limited to, nursing, radiological sciences, physical therapy, occupational health, and dental hygiene. The degree offers students a broad general education, and provides basic knowledge in microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, and nutrition (as stated in the courses learning objectives). These are common prerequisites for above mention four-year majors, while also preparing students for more advanced allied health courses. Degree requirements for four-year programs differ from institution to institution, so students wishing to transfer to a particular four-year program should consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for that particular program. The DVC allied health major is intended for transfer. Students wishing to transfer must consult with a counselor regarding other courses in math, chemistry and physics that may be required by the four-year institution to which they intend to transfer.

CHANGED CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS and associaTe degrees - effective fall 2010 Note: Changes are underlined. Deletions are indicated by strike through. Dental assisting – DENTL Possible career opportunities
While most dental assistants find employment in dental offices, opportunities for employment also exist in clinics and hospitals, insurance agencies, dental x-ray laboratories, and supply houses. The dental assisting program provides an excellent path for those interested in a variety of positions in the dental field. With training from the program, students can choose a profession as a dental technician, a small business owner in the dental field, a marketing agent for a commercial laboratory, or a sales representative for a dental supplier. Dental assisting students can also choose to continue their education to become a dental hygienist or a dentist. The dental assisting program provides an excellent path for those interested in a variety of professions in the dental field. The Diablo Valley College dental assisting program prepares students to work in a dental office as an essential member of the dental team. Employment opportunities for the graduates include, but are not limited to: chairside assistant or front office administrator for dental offices or clinics, x-ray technician for dental radiation laboratories, agent for dental insurance companies, lab technician for dental laboratories, product representative for dental product manufacturers or marketing agent for dental supply companies. The DVC dental assisting program is approved by the Dental Board of California and accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA). This qualifies the student upon graduation to take state as well as national board examinations to become a licensed Registered Dental Assistant in California (RDA) and a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA). Other options for continuing education and licensing allow Registered Dental Assistant to specialize and become a Registered Dental Assistant in Extended Functions (RDAEF). Other career options include study to become a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), or a dentist (DDS or DMD).
Diablo Valley College
The required dental assistant program classes are taught during the day; however, the general education courses required for the certificate or degree may be taken in the evening or at an alternate location. The Diablo Valley College dental assisting program is accredited approved by the Dental Board of California and accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association (ADA), and the United States Department of Education. Students completing the degree or certificate program in dental assisting are eligible to take the Californias State written and practical examination and obtain their Registered Dental Assisting (RDA) license and take their national Certified Dental Assistant examination to become a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA). Registered Dental Assistant examination and the national Certified Dental Assistant examination. Selected classes may meet lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at selected campuses of CSU or the Bachelor of Arts at private universities. Consult with college counselors for more information. The 11 month program is scheduled to begin each fall term in August and the dental assisting courses will be completed by the middle of June.
